Douche-bag Texans fan several rows in front of us, wearing a cowboy hat and continually standing, smirking, looking around to make sure everyone was looking at him. He disappeared really quickly at the end.
Trampled under foot???
My guess is he was actually a MIN fan cosplaying as a fan of a real team, looking to troll the home crowd. Only because I've seen actual MIN fans do this at lambeau before. Just without the cowboy hat.

The dweebs at the NFL, worded the rule incorrectly. The reason the kickoff OOB was placed at the 25 (instead of the 40) was because they kicked off from the 50, due to the Packers Unsportsmanlike penalty on the previous play. (25 yards from the kickoff spot).
Stupid loophole - proper wording should be "Kicking off OOB is a penalty that places the ball on the 40 yard line."
So credit to the Texans for recognizing that loophole & not allowing an All-Pro kick returner to return the ball.
Enjoy that L, Texans 🖕🏼😈

As significant as any scheme changes, Hafley’s willingness to bench undeserving players where better options were available (even, gasp, a veteran former 1st round pick) has been awesome to see.
Love is 15 TD’s. 8 INT’s.

Yup....in the past, I thought it was Gutey telling coaches (former DC's) who to play (Maybe.....maybe not)....that's clearly no longer the case and MLF is letting Hafley cook. It's a beautiful thing
I'm not really concerned with Love's interceptions. At least not yet. He's a young QB and he is still learning his capabilities on a football field. Young QBs need to make mistakes to learn. Nothing drives me crazier than a head coach dumbing down an offense for a young QB and finish with a stat line like 23-34 for 172 yards 1 TD and 0 Ints. Yeah it makes for a winnable game and pretty solid season long stat line but playing it safe on every pass prevents the young QB from turning into a franchise guy. Then the fans get pissed b/c the QB never becomes more than a game manager. We want Love to be franchise QB who can win a game at the end (like he did today).
Obviously this depends on Love learning from his picks. But I think he will.

The play at the end of the Niners game in the divisional playoffs was ridiculous. He knows that....
The pick 6 vs. the Rams this year was insanity. He knows that too....

Should we be worrying about Bullard?
Nope.....just R-E-L-A-X
Watching the game again, my DVR’d copy…….they really don’t look bad……defense was really good……they’re young right?? ♥️ is young right?? It’s only been 7 games, yikes, that seems like a lot……ok, I am feeling better. ❤️ 💚 💛
Goldie.....it's victory Monday. Enjoy the ride!
Positives:
Any win in the NFL you can get is a positive. Win and move on to the next game.
The defense clamped down on the Texans pretty well and I even hear Gary's name a few times something that has been missing lately. I also think they are starting to play with an edge on defense. An attitude that we are here to play real defense now and that has been missing for a LONG time. Hopefully they keep it up.
One thing I am noticing is that Houston is a pretty physical team and in the past this would be the type of team they would wilt against because they play big boy football.
The Packers are playing well but I have this feeling they haven't really played their best yet. If they stay healthy that level is coming soon reallly soon.
Negatives:
I don't really have any negatives that was a good win!

Mahomes top WR & top RB are both out with injury. Kelce is old and a Swiftie.
And yet KC is currently somehow 6-0 and coming off of another Super Bowl victory after Mahomes also put up mediocre numbers in 2023.
Teams can and do win games playing good defense, in fact that is what occurred in Lambeau yesterday. Packer fans are just unused to seeing the defense lead the team to victory.
Love is a potential SB winning QB … as long as his defense (and Special Teams) do not resemble what we’ve seen in Packerland since 2011.
Mahomes also has more teammates on the field than the other teams, the officials
+ Whilst I hate 23's yapping, maybe that border skirmish woke some guys up and set their hair on fire!
@Packiderm posted:+ Whilst I hate 23's yapping, maybe that border skirmish woke some guys up and set their hair on fire!
I usually am the type of fan to say shut and play football. BUT, I think #23 is yapping to get the team fired up and that IMHO is what happened in pregame. He wasn't backing down to that turd Diggs and the rest of the team had his back. I really think the players on this team are really coming together and playing with an edge.
+ I forgot to add the extra time after the 3hrs on my DVR and assumed i missed the final minutes. To my disbelief, it cut off about 10sec after McManus's leap.
+ Was not a fan of the alternate uni's when they were revealed online. But shown against the backdrop of the lambeau turf, they looked pretty sharp. They are wholly different from yet perfectly in tune with their historic versions.
Thought this was funny…
Brandon McManus (the hero of today’s game) already has TWO nicknames from his new teammates — “DAD” and “UNCLE” 😂
That’s because the kicker is the oldest player on Green Bay by TWO YEARS!
McManus also told reporters after the game that making the Lambeau Leap isn’t as easy as it looks…
“I always heard it was taller than you think,” he joked. “But this is a historic, historic place. I was super excited.” 💚💛
also…….he hasn’t attempted a field goal for 287 days!!!!

Andy Reid built a solid defense, a novel idea.
Maybe we are in the process of building one as well?

The Packers RB gave the touchdown ball to Jordan Love who hit a big milestone of his own on the touchdown.
Running back Josh Jacobs has racked up over 1500 receiving yards in his professional career, including 117 so far in his first season with the Green Bay Packers. It may have been surprising for some fans to learn that he didn’t have a single receiving touchdown in his 5-year career with the Las Vegas Raiders where he rushed for 5,545 yards and 46 touchdowns. In fact, just a few weeks ago Jacobs set the record for most receptions in a career without a touchdown, breaking a 30-year-old record held by Gerald Riggs. Well, the Packers managed to restore Riggs to his rightful throne this week in their 24-22 win over the Houston Texans.

@PackerHawk posted:Pawsitives:
- The weather. Wow, nicest game I've ever been to at Lambeau.
- My wife actually went to a game with me. First one in 21 years. She had so much fun that she promised to go again in 8 years.
- Defense did a pretty amazing job considering the short field Love and Nixon gave them. Houston was at 22 yards passing well into the 3rd quarter!
- Whelan is a fucking stud. I swear one of his bombs had a 6 second hang time. And he turned that shitty snap at the end into a perfect hold. I had a real good view of that snap and let out a big FUCK!! as I watched him flip that thing over.
- Jacobs had another really solid game and his first reception TD!
Negatives:
- My last regular season game this year.
- Turnovers, gotta clean that up.
- We still have pockets of fans that think Go Pack Go and The Wave is a good idea when the offense is on the field. Cmon people!
I was there, too (section 108) and thought pretty much the same. Was my wife's first time ever and I think she loved it. My negative is that the scoreboard kept playing video prompting fan noise while the defense was on the field, even past the snap. I get pumping up the volume, but please switch to field coverage prior to the snap. I like to watch the scoreboard video, especially when the line of scrimmage is pretty far away
